I'd like to establish some standards for the way we document --help for our client tools. I am proposing the following simple rules:

1. all lower case, always.
2. semi-colons to separate multiple thoughts.
3. no periods.
4. no abbreviations.

For example, this will change our current --help from:

 --relativepath=RELATIVEPATH    Relative path where the repo is stored and 
exposed to

                                clients.  This defaults to feed path if not 
specified.


To:

--relativepath=RELATIVEPATH     relative path where the repository is stored 
and exposed to

                                clients; this defaults to feed path if not 
specified


Please yell if you object to any of this. I'll be modifying the current implementation to conform to these new rules.

-Todd
